When you're getting ready in the morning and you're exercising or when you just need a little boost, download Mindset and listen to your favorite motivational speeches while getting ready for the day. Not only is it possible for you to have your dream and it's necessary for you to challenge yourself to go after it and get better and leverage relationships that can help you get to where you want to go, but it's you. The major key to your reaching your dream, your living up to your greatness, your making your contribution, is you.
You went through all of the struggles, all of the challenges, but you made it. And here you are. The work needs to be done.
If it's going to happen, you're going to have to eliminate excuses. It is possible to fully commit yourself to something. It is possible to accomplish what you see in your head.
The question is, can you give your all? You need to shut down all negativity. Believe in everything that you are and understand that within you, there's something greater than any obstacle you'll ever face. Whatever situations that you had to endure last year, leave it there. It has nothing to do with what's coming right now.
Because if you don't feel this fire, then it's not a dream. If you don't get up when the count is at nine, you don't want it enough. If you can hear my voice, you've got work to do. you've got a destiny to fulfill you've got a purpose to walk into you've got a test to pass you're about to be given a second chance at greatness a fresh start we need to change that internal dialogue.
It's time to step into the shoes you were meant to wear. What people think about you and the possibilities for your dream is none of your business. That's their business.
They have no imagination, ladies and gentlemen. They're living out of the past, out of their memory. Their attitude is it can't be done because they haven't seen it. They're judging according to appearances.
The people that... that are going to make it in the future, the people that are making it today, let me share something with you. History is being read, but it's also being written by people with imagination.
This is your life, my friend. And I'm sure when it's all said and done, you don't want to look back and see that you wasted it. This is your life, my friend. So you stand up. This is your life, my friend.
So you rise up. This is your life, my friend. So you keep going. This is your life, my friend.
So you never give up. This is your life, my friend. You need to keep going. This is the year I give it everything I have.
This is the year I stop complaining about the past. This is the year that I don't make excuses. This is the year that I embrace my non-negotiables. This is the year that if I see it in my head, I can hold it in my hand. And I'm saying to you, whatever you gotta do, do it, because if you don't, life is gonna whoop you until you surrender.
And say, okay, alright, alright, alright, alright. I'll cooperate, okay, I'll learn, okay. So if it's hard, then do it hard. Last year, you didn't know how you were going to get through it. Last year, you didn't know how you were going to stand on your two feet.
Last year, you were looking for something, but you just couldn't find it. But somehow, you made it to where you are today. Now what do you do? You can't dwell on it.
You can't hold on to it anymore. You got to focus on right now. If you can hear my voice, if you are tired of where you are, if you are tired of not hitting your targets, if you are tired of not being aimed and intentional and assertive and consistent.
If you can hear my voice, I'm just wondering if you are bold enough, daring enough, if your faith is outrageous enough to take a chance on yourself. Just get through the process. It's worth it.
That as you go through the challenges of life and you look at it and embrace whatever comes to you, don't run from it. Step toward it. Don't try and duck it like most people do. See, most people want it easy. See, easy come, easy what?
Easy go. See, but when you go at what you're going to deal with and you deal with the difficult... When you handle those hard things close at hand, making those hard decisions right now that you don't want to make, learning those things that you don't like to do, but you know that in order for you to get where you want to go, this is one of the hoops that you have to flip through. Stop justifying your laziness. Stop choosing mediocrity.
Be better than who you used to be. Be better than who you are right now. Everybody else puts off everything until tomorrow, but not you.
You are going to choose to be better today. You are going to push through the struggles and hardships that come up this year. You are going to grind until you are exhausted.
Until you feel like you have nothing more. And then grind harder to achieve more this year. Because you deserve it. You've been beaten. You've been battered.
You've been broken. You've been betrayed. You've been lied on. It's time to hit back.
Life knocked you in the mouth years ago. And you haven't hit back yet. You hit back with determination, you hit back with focus, you hit back when you are disciplined, you hit back with resilience.
The future is unknown, but if you prepare for it, if you're ready for it, whatever the situation that may come your way, whatever circumstances that you must face, give all or give nothing. But I want you to understand that mistakes turn us all into winners. This is an every single day mentality.
I don't know what to start with. But if you will keep a no excuse mentality, then the sky is not your limit. The sky is your starting point. This is an every single day mentality.
I never get turned off every single day. I want my destiny. I want my dream. And it's not going to happen as quickly as you want it to happen.
A lot of things are going to happen that will cut you off, God. And so therefore you... you've got to deal with and handle it as it comes.
And not only that, but that faith and patience drives you into action. You've got to keep moving.
